Fire Al Avila, Please

The Detroit Tigers stink. To high Hell and back. Since starting the season 6–6, the Orange and Blue have lost 16 of their last 18 games, gone 23 innings without scoring and been shut out six times. Sunday, against the Yankees, José Ureña pitched a three-hitter and still lost, 2–0, because the Tigers only managed two hits off Yankees’ pitching.
During this horrid stretch, the team has scored fewer than three runs in all but three of their losses. You can’t win baseball games in 2020 like it’s 1968.
